Review: Orange

We know that orange is a color as well as a flavor, but we think that when something says “orange soda,” it should lean more towards the flavor side than the color side – after all, you can add food coloring to water and make it orange, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’d want to sell it. And someone might want to explain that to the folks at Zota, who have poured a decent amount of sugar and green tea into a beverage that, while faintly citric, misses out on having orange flavor by a long shot. They do a good job of making it “not too sweet” – but that leaves them a lot of room in the flavor profile to add in other tastes. Which they don’t. Maybe they will in the next batch.
